JUst want to know about HDMI cables. Since its only 1's and 0's, it shouldn't matter what cable I get right? A cheap one from Amazon is just as good as a Monster cable, right? Thanks for any help y'all can give.

Just make sure you get HDMI 1.3 cables...

You can also get them cheap at Sam's Club.

Blue Jeans Cable.

Parts Express.


Stay away from the Monster junk, which apart from being insanely expensive, isn't very good.

$50?

Try $95 or more for "certified 1080p" HDMI Monsters...

Are they worth it for a DIGITAL (000111000011100111) signal? Heck no!!!! Get a good cable for $20~30 and be happy with the money saved.

ANALOG is where cabling truly matters...

I would also recommend going with the Monoprice cable, they work great for me.
There are cases when the certified expensive cables are required but most people will not have a need for those.
